Chapter 857: The only way to get out is to kill the gods
"The last time an immortal master visited, it should have been more than two hundred years ago!"
"When the old ancestor was young, he had the privilege of seeing characters like Shen Immortal Master and Chen Immortal Master with his own eyes. Everything I know has been passed down orally from generation to generation......" Chief Ma muttered, trying to recall his long-lost memories.
About two hundred and thirty years ago, seven immortal cultivators came to this nameless mountain village one after another, and at that time, the village had not yet moved to the border mountain range, but was hidden in another remote mountain area in Qingguo.
With the arrival of the seven immortal masters, the village gradually became stronger;
At its peak, it had a population of more than 3,000 people, and provided all the necessary support for the immortal master to collect mountain herbs, boil blood-tonic medicinal soups, build weapons and armor, and provide all the necessary support!
In other words, the so-called temple of killing gods is more like a logistics base for foreign monks to rebel against the power of the gods.
Of the seven foreign monks, five died in the battle with the god's disciples and gods, and the other two succeeded in killing one god, and soon after returning to the nameless mountain village, they disappeared into thin air; According to the words they left before they disappeared, they met the conditions for leaving and returned to their original world.
In addition, the two had also told the villagers that they might return to this realm after a while, but the ancestor of the village chief of Ma did not wait for them from childhood until he died of old age.
In the next two hundred years, the immortal cultivators who were active in various places either fell or left, and there were no new foreign monks to add in, so that the various forces of the temple lost their strength to resist the gods and gradually declined.
It was also during this period that the Nameless Mountain Village moved to the Border Mountains to escape the frenzied slaughter of the gods' disciples.
So far, there are only more than 100 people left in the village, most of whom are still old, weak, women and children.
If Shen Mo and Chen Mengze come any later, I'm afraid that this village will also be slaughtered by the god's disciples!
"I see!"
After listening to Village Chief Ma's narration, Shen Mo's mood was a little complicated and indescribable.
There is not only sympathy for the suffering of the forces of the Nameless Mountain Village and other god-killing temples, but also admiration for their indomitable will, and of course, there is also a hint of the way forward!
He, Chen Mengze, and other foreign monks have experienced the scenery of the Immortal Dao world, and naturally they will not be willing to lose their immortal Dao cultivation, and they will slowly die of old age in this world where the Immortal Dao is extinct, which can be understood at any cost; However, the beings of the Realm like the Chief of the Horse Village are different, they just think that the world without gods would be better, and they have silently held on to it for tens of thousands of years!
Shen Mo didn't know where the idea of these Killing God Temple disciples came from, it may have been that this seed was planted when he came into contact with the first foreign monk and listened to him describe the Immortal Dao World.
As everyone knows, for secular mortals, even in the immortal world, they are facing a completely different situation.
There are mortals who spend their entire lives doing nothing and don't know what to practice. Some mortals were born with demons and monsters, which became the food for their cultivation and growth: some inhabited in the blessed land of the caves, where they could have no worries about food and clothing without hard work, and could enjoy ......a hundred years without cultivating
If all the gods in the Shinto world were wiped out, even Shen Mo would not be able to predict whether the situation of the creatures in this world would get better or worse!
Of course, one thing is certain, at least there is no need to sacrifice one's own flesh and blood soul, if there is no disease and no disaster, with the environment of this blue planet, it is not too difficult for ordinary people to live to be one hundred and eighty years old; Even after death, you can be reincarnated, not once you die, it will be a miserable end.
In any case, Shen Mo had neither the position nor the qualifications to accuse the disciples of the Killing God Temple for their persistence for tens of thousands of years!
"Originally, I just wanted to act according to my heart, and come here to contact the forces of the Killing God Temple, to see if I can get a glimpse of the truth of the gods, and pave the way for immortality in the future."
"I didn't think about it, but I found an opportunity to break away from this world......
Shen Mo looked at Chen Mengze's equally thoughtful beautiful face, and thought secretly in his heart.
Now the situation is very clear, foreign immortal cultivators like them who have been captured by the Ghost Gate want to leave the Shinto world, there is only one way to go, and that is to kill a god!
Of course, they can
In order to choose incognito, do not ask about the world.
It's just that they may be approached by the disciples of the gods, and under the continuous invasion and siege of the powerful enemies that are constantly killed, they will continue to consume the essence and divine origin, and eventually starve to death or be killed; And the best result is nothing more than to maintain the original Taoism, wait for the longevity to run out, and die of old age in this world!
Rather than this, it is better to choose to cooperate with the forces of the Temple of Killing God and try to kill a god.
After all, during the period of the ancestor of the village chief Ma, there were indeed two "immortal masters" who disappeared out of thin air after completing the god-killing mission!
As for why they didn't keep their promise and return to this realm, according to Shen Mo and Chen Mengze's conjectures...... Either there was something wrong with the closure of the ghost gate during this period, or the two of them were delayed due to retreat and other reasons after they returned, or they fell into the original world.
There are still a lot of questions, which cannot be answered for a while!
For example, what is the purpose of the Ghost Gate Pass, to allow foreign monks to kill the gods? Could it be that he simply regarded this matter as a test for everyone?
It seems that such a powerful immortal weapon as the Ghost Gate Gate will not be able to get along with the gods of this world for reasons such as "pity for the creatures of the Shinto world"; After all, it is a magic weapon, and the form of life is completely different from that of mundane mortals, so how can it have compassion and sympathy for the human race in this world?
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Ghost Gate has the idea of mercy for all sentient beings, but in the Xuanhuang World alone, there are hundreds of millions of human immortals who have suffered, so why should it go to the trouble of coming to the Shinto World to practice it, and it has persevered for tens of thousands of years!
"Perhaps, when we slay a god, the truth will be revealed to us."
While thinking about it, Shen Mo poured a cup of tea for Village Chief Ma and continued, "The disciples of the gods are easy to deal with, but they have more extraordinary power than ordinary people. But those so-called "gods", we don't even know where they are, and we can't kill them if we want to!"
The vast majority of the human race in this realm worship gods, whether they are good gods or evil gods, they are naturally all disciples of gods, which is nothing more than the difference between being stronger and weaker.
Therefore, unless it is to create boundless blood and kill all the hundreds of millions of human beings in the Shinto world, whether strong or weak, there is no point in fighting and entangled with the disciples of the gods...... Kill a batch and a batch will come in, almost endlessly!
The crux of the matter remains with the so-called "gods".
Hearing Shen Mo's inquiry, Village Chief Ma thought for a while, and then tremblingly took out a pen and paper from the dilapidated cabinet and drew a rather complex pattern on the yellowed paper.
Shen Mo and Chen Mengze looked at it intently, and soon noticed the strangeness of this painting.
"Like...... It's some kind of rune!"
